UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator

UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. This is a battery which is used to power a PC or a web server in order to avoid the loss of data if the main source of energy fails for some reason or becomes risky. A diesel generator basically self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are widely-used as a backup in data centers to back up the power and to guarantee the constant operation of all the web servers located there. Since the UPS operates at all times, it provides the necessary power for the web servers to remain operational until the generator starts and takes over. Using this kind of a backup is vital for any data center or provider that wants to keep their hardware and data intact in the case of a power surge or outage, as it provides them with plenty of time to react until the issue is resolved and the main power supply is restored.

We offer hosting in three of the largest sized data centers around the world. They're based in the U.S., in the UK and in Australia. As data protection and server uptime are our priorities, all three facilities have numerous backup systems against power outages. A few diesel generators can keep the hosting servers working for hours or even for a few days and each and every machine that is part of our cutting-edge cloud platform features its own enterprise-class UPS to keep it operational until the generators begin working. This setup is amongst the reasons why we're able to promise a 99.9% web server and network uptime, so if you host your web sites in a shared account with us, you shall benefit from a fast and outstanding service and never having to worry about any interruptions due to electric power outages.

If you buy a semi-dedicated server account from our company, it shall be created on a cutting-edge hosting platform inside a data center with an incredible infrastructure. The Chicago-based center uses an individual UPS for every single hosting server or network switch located there to ensure that the proper functioning of any piece of equipment won't be disturbed until powerful generators start providing the necessary electrical power. The latter will power the whole facility for a very long time without having to turn off any machines, so all of the sites hosted on our machines will continue to work at max speed and without any effect on their capabilities. These electric power backup options permit us to guarantee that a possible outage will never be a reason for your Internet sites to go offline or to have limited functionality.
